Dictionarium medicum, vel expositiones vocum [graecarum] medicinalium, ab verbum exerpta.... Cum latina interpretatione. Sans lieu [Genève], Huldrich Fugger pour Henri Estienne, 1564. In-8 (166 x 104 mm) de 608 pp., 14 ff.n.ch. Vélin souple, dos lisse avec titre manuscrit (reliure de l' époque). Renouard, Estienne, 121:3; Schreiber, 151; Garrison-Morton, 6791; Heirs of Hippocrates, 361; Durling, 1402. Édition originale. Célèbre dictionnaire, qui rassemble les écrits des grands médecins de l'Antiquité : Hippocrate, Aetius, Aretanus, Galen, Actuarius, Celsius et d'autres ; il est accompagné de notes d'Henri Estienne ainsi que de celles de Conrad Gessner. “This valuable Greek-Latin dictionary for the ancient medical writers defined and fixed a large number of anatomical terms, it exercised considerable influence on modern anatomical terminology. It was thus an important aid to the full understanding of the ancient texts” (Garrison-Morton). “This specialized lexicographical work provided a sample of what would be the monumental Greek Thesaurus, on which Estienne, since his father's death, was now working alone. Preceding Estienne's own Lexicon are several related ancient Greek texts, including the editio princeps of Erotian's lexicon to Hippocrates, and a corrected text of Galen's Linguarum Hippocratis explication” (Schreiber). “This medical dictionary was a significant achievement of Renaissance printing and Estienne's scholarship. It influenced Renaissance anatomical terminology because many anatomical terms were defined here for the first time” (Heirs). Petite mouillure claire au début et vers la fin, reliure un peu tachée. Provenance : note biffée sur le titre - Fournier (signature du XIXème siècle au contre plat).
